I've seen people at the air link station have a train pull in, they can't board because they have ticket for the other service many times, often large groups.

I bet the bit behind the horns gets splattered black by bugs in first few months of warm weather operation.

Anyone have a realistic timeline as to when trains will start running in revenue service on this line once it's re-activated?

I have a few things to share on this topic... One: This guy is in league with cutting & no increased revenue camp.

If the PRR had wanted to electrify further territory, it would have immediately following WWII. If traffic had warranted it, they would have done HAR-PIT. As noted above however, the corporation was already in decline and they didn't have the resources. IMO, none of the RR's including PRR & NYC...
